Parsons,Niamh Blackbirds & Thrushes CD

Niamh Parsons is one of the freshest and most powerful voices in music today. The great Scottish balladeer Archie Fisher says of Niamh "a voice like hers comes along once or twice in a generation." Rooted in the traditional music of her native Ireland, Niamh (pronounced Neeve) has capured the hearts of critics worldwide. Her newest recording, Blackbirds And Thrushes, is a collection of traditional Irish songs in a beautiful acoustic setting. Niamh has painstakingly selected the repertoire and researched the history of each song, creating an album that is a deep reflection of her.
